To pray for an article cold snap, foot of snow anythimg...

We are on our 5th day of 37 degree temperatures with heat indexes well over the 40 degree mark. It's hot,miserable and masks just make it worse....IIts almost 5pm and it's well over 30
Degrees. I think I'm melting.

BTW...Remember when they said that Civic would.be.difficult to.transmit due to warm/ hot.temperatures and it would.start to.die.out...They were so incredibly wrong

Where do you live OP?

certainly not in jolly G.B that's for sure

@romeolovedjulliet..Nope. I'm in the states..I won't be making it back to the UK this year. First time in 50

Sounds terrible OP!

I would struggle to live in those temperatures and would spend any money I had on the best air conditioning possible!!!

Max temperature 18 degrees where I am today suits me fine, light jacket and perfect for walking the dog in the morning /evening.

Look forward to more of it as the effects of climate change increase (which air conditioning only makes worse)...

I feel for you. I’m in Ontario, Canada and last week we had about 5 days of temperatures in the high 30s with the humidity making it feel 40-44 with absolutely no cloud cover.

Today’s 25 + humidity felt positively cool! It’s supposed to feel 42 on Sunday with the humidity again

I feel bad wishing for colder weather as I curse the snow when it’s -25 in the winter but something around the 20 mark would be nice for a change...

FIL is in Ontario. I've said frequently I don't live in plus or minus 30. Ontario does BOTH.

I could have written this, I’m in Houston and should be in the uk for summer 😭 it’s so flipping hot all can do is stay in the ac.

When that was said Covid was transmitting like wildfire in Indonesia so I always knew that was a wishful thinking (or complete bullshit)

After a while when the temp drops to low 30’s it seem cold.

Sure, come to Britain where we have the fireplace going in July. 😒

I love it when its that hot, but where I live has very low humidity and a strong ocean breeze, which makes all the difference! 37 degrees here is more pleasant than 27 in the UK in my experience, although it does help to be at the beach, beside a pool or in the air con. It's mid bloody winter here and pissing down, roll on summer!

I'm in dubai and it was 52 yesterday. And its the law to wear a mask!

You don't have air con? I thought it was pretty standard in homes, shops cars etc. in Weastern countries.

9C here in NZ and this week we have had rain, rain and more rain. We were in drought and it is winter, but I am looking forward to seeing some sun.

Although, I have to admit 37C is a little warm

Crikey. I get panicky if the temp is forecast over 20! I literally could not survive in so many places.

If you can stick your feet in a bucket of icy cold water. It gradually cools everything down (and yes, i used to do this at work - surreptitiously under the desk )

I think wherever we live we have challenges.

I lived in rural SE Asia for a while- no air con at all. 34 degrees all year round, including during monsoon season.
We lived like the locals and adapted- no one there works 9-5 for instance, that would be considerd crazy.
I am in Scotland, weather is cold all year, I have had my heating on most days ths month. Weather is gloomy, light levels low, cold and wet all year round. We adapt and cope with it.

Where in Scotland is this if you don't mind saying @speakout? I'll bet it's the west It sounds really miserable. I'm from a very sunny part of Scotland and although it's never tropical there it's a lovely place to live. I live in England now and I find the summers here a bit too hot and humid at times !

@0blio

My money’s on Glasgow!!
Big factor in me moving to England was The weather

Ahh, 0blio, sure April and May were glorious in Scotland this year. We always have too high hopes for July and August and they're dashed every year. But it's still lovely and light here late into the night.

Today's a bitch, I'll admit...

@alwayscrashinginthesamecar1
I want to know where you live. It sounds perfect to me 😍

This is the real danger we are facing.

Siberia is experiencing a real heatwave. The whole climate system is collapsing. COVID will seem like a small beer when that hits.

It's winter here and I'm sick of being cold - you are welcome to it!

Toilen Where in Britain would one need to light a fire in July? 😮

I live on the South coast and the climate is perfect for me, though I get grumpy when it exceeds 25 degrees.

@FiveShelties - no rain here, just frosty weather and often a cloudy day so it stays icy cold!
